With 15 years of experience photographing dance, I have developed a deep understanding of movement and a keen eye for capturing striking and expressive images. My wife has spent a lifetime learning and teaching dance, which has gives us a unique perspective and insight into the creative process.
We make the difference in your dance images.
Studio
As a dance photographer working in a studio, we have the opportunity to experiment with lighting to create images that truly define and showcase the dancers. Whether it's using soft, diffuse light to create a sense of ethereal beauty, or utilizing dramatic, contrasty light to highlight the strength and athleticism of the dancers, we are constantly seeking to create lighting that enhances the mood and atmosphere of the performance. In the studio, we are able to control the light and shape it to our vision, resulting in images that truly capture the essence of the dancers and their artistry.
Fine Art
We personally produce our pigment prints on archival papers, spending countless hours perfecting our printing process. We hope you will appreciate our printed products as much as we love making them. Whether inside the studio or outside on location, composition, lighting and exposure merge into a beautiful printed work of art.
Our client sessions include the digital files and we understand that many of our clients prefer making their own final products. We recommend Bayphoto.com to create some amazing modern art.

Video
As a videographer specializing in dance, we are dedicated to capturing the beauty and artistry of movement in the highest detail possible. Using the latest ultra high-definition cameras and lenses, we are able to capture the intricate details of each movement, allowing viewers to fully appreciate the skill and artistry of the dancers, resulting in dynamic and engaging footage that truly showcases the artistry of dance.
Performance Photography
With the latest technology and techniques, we are able to capture stunning images of performances in perfect silence, without the distracting noise of a camera shutter. This allows us to capture the raw emotion and intensity of the performance, while maintaining the integrity of the experience for everyone involved.
Outdoor
Sometimes you need the emotion of the world around you to truly show yourself. As a dance photographer, we are constantly seeking to capture images that not only showcase the technical skill and artistry of the dancers, but also evoke deep emotion and feeling in the viewer. We are able to draw inspiration from the natural surroundings and incorporate elements of the environment into the composition of the image. Whether it's the play of light and shadow on the dancers' bodies, or the way the landscape enhances the mood and atmosphere of the performance, we strive to create images that not only document the movement, but also tell a story and invoke a sense of connection and emotion in the viewer.
